Am I correct in thinking that IA's preferred approach in this situation is for me to create a completely separate object for the .mp3, so you wind up with one record for the video and one record for the audio, which are unconnected to each other?
From a user experience/browsing standpoint, it seems like it might be nice if there were a single object with the metadata about the item and the user could see that both video and audio versions are available. But it seems like the system is designed so that content is firmly segmented by type (video vs. audio) and not bundling up related items of distinct types.
Please let me know if there's a way to attach the .mp3 as an additional format to the existing video objects or to indicate the correspondence between the separate records. Otherwise, I'll just go ahead and create separate audio records. Thanks as always!

Not necessarily. I've seen people who upload video sermons often tuck an audio-mp3 version into the item, and that seems to work pretty well.
